Starting with a new season of Traitors, Survivor 50 and a new twist for the fans to participate. A few rumors surrounding Resident Evil, She Hulk, the return of Sherlock Holmes, and Event Horizon.
John Cena exits stage left, Knives Out: Wake Up Dead Man is a much watch, and fans going nuts over the new Toxic Avenger. The Supergirl trailer is good especially if you know the comic series it’s based off of and why it on the Smurfs “Must Read” list. Steam Vs. Xbox? All of this and the Academy Awards makes a bold move for its future and staying relevant. All of this and more for your Weekend Geek Update!
